🇩🇪Robert Schumann ： Arabeske in C-Dur Op.18

Schumann’s Arabeske is a character piece in which flowing melodies are combined with a light rhythmic character. Centered on a calm, songful main section, it introduces contrasting episodes, creating an overall flow of return and contrast. The delicate ornamentation and movement of the inner voices should be kept clear, while the melody is sustained in long phrases. In the livelier passages, a supple touch and a natural, unhurried sense of breathing bring out the work’s intimate poetic quality and bright elegance. At the conclusion, the music should be brought to a delicate close while preserving the resonance of what has come before.
